So, jonh, you said Sebastian Shaw wasn’t working for the ghost scene… did you create a sort of WIP beta test, trying to paste his face on the ghost body? I’m really dying to see any sort of Shaw ghost in this, lol. Even an extremely rough looking, flat image of Sebastian Shaw on the ghost would be good enough for me at this point or something. Seeing as I’m probably the most anal about it, (and the one with the least amount of technical know-how on creating something like that) I’ll really take whatever I can get!
And yeah, Hayden does have more of an on-screen relationship and better established deceitment and betrayal with The Emperor, and that is more poignant and everything, I fully understand and admit that. But Hayden just does not personally do it for me in such an important scene as this, I’m sorry. I would personally rather the spirits not show up at all, rather than have Hayden there, especially beside old Luke. If I’m being really extreme. (Yeah, I’m one of THOSE purist guys.) But I know that’s just completely whining, and I’m sorry I keep kind of preaching to the choir about this.
Uh, +1. (Although I’d still rather have ghosts than no ghosts, since I have been acclimating to Hayden-ghost since 2005)
For anyone still following along or taking opinions on the Skywalker saber’s new effects, I am into Max Noise and Full Unstable as well, HOWEVER in the sample clip, I can feel the rhythm visually of when the effect loops back up the length of the blade. Something about the larger, bolder blade effects look a little more fan edit-y even though I prefer them and I think it’s because Kylo’s…randomizes (?) faster and has another pass (or two or three) of particle effects on top of the initial noise/irregularities.
Additional note, I’m around to send audition recordings for any editors trying to get more impression Kylo clips, if anyone reads this far. (PM) It seems to be a running ask for folks who want to amend Exegol and Kijimi dialogue!
